1886, TO July 1, 1887, the number of convicts
was 92S and the deaths 32. OF this number
% were from diseases and 4 from injuries

CITY OF MMxIco, July 31.-The Tempe
to-day reopens it's attacks upon Americans,
although the editor-in-chief is still in jail.
1t says that forty years have not been suffi-
cient to extinguish the absorptionist
views of the United States with
regard to Mexico, and that
the same greedy and hypocritical
tendencies exist to-day. 1t condemns what
II the terms the vile conduct of successive
administrations in Mexico since 1S47 with
regard to the United States. 1t is not,
the TEMPO says, TO be wondered at that
a nation relatively we1k as is Mexico
in comparison with the strength of a Co
lossus should be a target for the ambition
of its neighbor. The Tempo asserts that
the United States counts on the Mexican
Central railway as an avenue to Mexico
and that its management is altogether more
favorable to American interests than ia
those of Mexico.

and carries his red card in his pocket
every week day, said yesterday that when
General Master workman 7. v. Powderly
says that his friend Philip Van Patten
gave him his card as Socialist out Of fun
and that he has nothing whatever to dc
with the party, he forgets that he was once
member of the national executive com.
mittee of that party. When the conven
vention of the Knights of Labor met il
this city in 1882 some objection was made
to james E. Quinn, who was then dele
gate from district assembly 40, because he
was thought to be Socialist. In a speech
made then. Van Patten claimed Powderly
as Socialist and Powderly did not deny
it.. 1t is within Mr.. Morrison's knowledge
he says, that Mr.. Powderly paid his dues
directly to the treasurer of the executive
